Berlin symphony Orchetra - Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique

Review by Liute Cristian de Paula Conceição

The Berlin Symphony Orchestra has delivered a stunning rendition of Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique in their latest album. The orchestra's performance is a flawless interpretation of the classical masterpiece.

The album begins with the haunting "Reveries" that sets the tone for the entire symphony. The orchestra's use of dynamics and tempo changes are exceptional, creating a sense of drama and tension throughout the piece.

The second movement, "Un Bal," is a joyous and lively dance that the orchestra performs with great energy and precision. The delicate harp and flute solos add a touch of elegance to the piece.

The third movement, "Scene aux champs," is a beautiful and melancholic melody that the orchestra performs with great sensitivity. The use of the English horn and oboe creates a sense of longing and nostalgia that is deeply moving.

The fourth movement, "Marche au supplice," is a thrilling and intense march to the scaffold that the orchestra performs with great power and force. The use of percussion and brass instruments creates a sense of urgency and impending doom.

The final movement, "Songe d'une nuit de sabbat," is a wild and chaotic dance that the orchestra performs with great gusto. The use of the bells and organ adds a haunting quality to the piece, creating a sense of unease and terror.
